Danny, me, and Mr. Hao
1 hour into the journey we made the 1st of many stops we had to make because I was so sick from food poisoning that I thought I might die. Local lady pinching my stomach to try to make me feel better?
she pinched me so hard i ened up w/ 4 bruises on my belly! she then rubbed tiger balm on me and wanted to punture my skin with a sharp object to "release the poisons through my blood" but I wouldn't let her!
